bunnydrops Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I know you guys get tired of answering these questions but I need some advice. I an here on a one year multi-O issued Mar.20; last. My current stamp is good to Apr, 20. I am going for an marriage extension. I have the money in bank and paper work ready. The problem is I would like to meet some friends of mine that will be in Laos in Apr.. Would it better ti try for a 30 day extension first and then go for the marriage extension? or go ahead and get the marriage extension and then get a exit permit. Can I get the marriage extension early, or do I have to wait for the last month of my visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) The extension is 60 days and you can apply for it during the last 30 days of your current permission to stay, The cost is 1900 baht. If you get the extension, you will also need to purchase a re-entry permit to keep your extension when you return. Cost is 1000 baht for a single.

PoorSucker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Apply for the one year extension and get a re-entry permit for 1000 baht. You can apply within the last 30 days of your current permission to stay. The cost for 60 days and one year is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) If you apply for the one year extension (up to 30 days early) you will have a 30 day under consideration period that starts at most immigration offices on the date your current permit to stay ends. If you get a re-entry permit it would only be valid until the date you have to report back after the 30 days. You also could get a re-entry permit for your current permit to stay (April 20). Or make another exit and return before your visa expires on March 20th and get another 90 day entry and get a re-entry permit for that entry. Or get the 60 day extension (1900 baht) to visit your wife and a re-entry permit for that extension. Edited February 1, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the best idea for me (getting another 90 day stamp) and the cheapest, What I was trying to do was get the marriage extension so I could start using the money in the bank as my income is going to be a bit lean until the beginning of next year. But I guess I can eat less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I was just giving you all the options you have to work around your planned trip. You could still get the extension at the end of your new 90 day entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
